Zamzow Group

overview

Concerned that many companies were being staffed with poor-quality accounting and financial consultants, Brenda Zamzow was inspired to start The Zamzow Group in late 2003. After spending 20 years in the corporate financial world and not in an HR/recruiting environment, Brenda had more competitive insight into the business needs of her customers...because she had been in their shoes.

The Zamzow Group was created to give clients a boutique feel with personalized service, very different from the larger corporate staffing companies. Brenda worked hard to build a team of top-notch consultants available at affordable prices. Associates working for The Zamzow Group typically have 15-20 years of industry experience.

The company’s first client, Ernst & Young (“E&Y”), was an early success story. E&Y had been cautious about using outside staffing. They contacted The Zamzow Group to fill a four-month interim position in their audit department during a crunch time while they were ramping up their Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. E&Y eventually hired that consultant for a full-time position and the company continued to work with several more Zamzow Group Associates on future Sarbanes-Oxley compliance projects.

By the end of 2004, The Zamzow Group had grown to 13 associates working with such industry leaders as Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures Entertainment. In 2005, the company moved to their Beverly Hills offices and required a full-time staff recruiter. Soon, gross billings exceeded $2 million and they quickly expanded to 18 associates.

Over the next few years, The Zamzow Group continued to grow, adding a Director of Development to nurture client relationships and to assist with recruiting high-quality associates in the field. The company also continued to develop their niche industries in entertainment, manufacturing and not-for-profit, now serving over 50 clients in the greater Los Angeles area.

Both clients and associates alike have expressed appreciation for The Zamzow Group’s dedication to quality associates, their knowledge about their clients, and their commitment to matching associates to the best, most rewarding projects. Clients and associates say they never feel lost in the shuffle as they often have working with larger consulting firms. The Zamzow Group is truly a family atmosphere.

Brenda Zamzow and The Zamzow Group look forward to a long history of providing premium yet affordable accounting and financial services to the greater Los Angeles area.
